Steps to solve:
-8(2x + 1) = 6x - 12
~Distribute left side
-16x - 8 = 6x - 12
~Add 8 to both sides
-16x = 6x - 4
~Subtract 6 to both sides
-22x = -4
~Divide -22 to both sides
x = 22/4 or z = 11/2
Best of Luck!
Answer:
x = 11/4
Explanation:
-8(2x+1)+=6x-12 first do the multiplying
-16x - 8 = 6x - 12 add like terms
4 = 22x divide by 22
x = 11/2
